Joeys backs much smaller than the Scots boys - Year 10 boy (Max Jorgensen, son of Peter) playing OC marking monster Josh Wong who is a very good and dangerous player. He was the MOM for mine, outshining the much-hyped fullback Kalokalo who has recently signed up to the dark side. But gutsy performance in defence from Joeys in the backs, and some very good phases.
Joeys lost their 10 mid-way in the 2nd half - popped shoulder - which caused some disruption. Going for an MRI and may be OK if no damage. Ollie Cummins (also Yr10) looked impressive, playing at 9, 10 and 15 during the 2nd half. He plays hooker in league and looks it.

H,
Absolute decimation and ferocity by View, however, couple niggles and injuries in the lower teams.
Kiyan Jahromi 4th XV - Hyperextended knee
Angus Dougall 4th XV - Shoulder injury
Nevertheless they did play a thirds team and came away with a win.
Personally, good day for the wolves.
Looking very strong coming into the big dance next weekend....

Joker, it’s H
As the timeless Syrian proverb states: “it only hurts because of the pain”
From what I saw today, View will be up for it. They can’t be underestimated or joeys may go home with a disappointed fan base (joker).
View boys are known to be the toughest breed of schoolboys in the competition and have the skills to back it up this season.
Should be a contest for the ages.

The Wolves from Lane Cove respect the wet pink kitty kitties from HH, but Never, Ever fear them, always a good contest.

They will have the Society of Jesus getting behind them in the clouds for this fixture.
Should be a cracker.

Looking at the streams today Kings definitely have the best playing surface in the GPS

Not sure how you reached the conclusion that Scots were the much better side. Joeys had more possession, more territory, spent more time in Scots' 22 and created more scoring opportunities but came up with more errors at critical times. They also played a more structured game: good yards up the middle, consistently over the gain line, good post-contact metres especially from their big props, and only then going wide.
By sharp contrast Scots tended to go wide very early, often off first & second phase trying to give space to their big out-centre & fullback, both big, strong units. They had their best period in the 3rd quarter when they had a lot of ball & field position but that was really the only period of the game they dominated.
Joeys have a bigger pack than last year, especially the front row, and they were blowing pretty hard after an hour. Scots would have done better to keep it tighter at that point to take advantage of a more mobile pack - just as Joeys did last year when they won a lot of games in the last quarter with a much smaller but very fit pack - but Scots still preferred to go wide at nearly every opportunity. Surprising Joeys didn't sub off their props, both of whom got through a load of work, but they were still there at the end. Likely the coaching team decided to build up their match fitness as they're a couple of big lads.
To say it was Scots game for the last 10 minutes and 'a little lapse cost them the game' is a strange call. In that period Joeys had almost all the possession and it was played mostly in Scots' half. The 'little lapse' was actually a 20-phase Joeys effort that went from a line out just outside their 22 and finished with the winning try. I thought they were very good value for the win especially having lost their playmaker, who was having a great game, shortly after halftime.

Agree with you Ned.
The Joe 1sts backs looked slick. Antico going off injured was a big disruption to the flow. Let’s hope it’s a flesh wound and we will see him back on the paddock soon. Quality #10....and I’m not just saying that because he’s in the cerise...

You've heard of 'island time?' This phenomenon is know as 'Marist time' and it can even effect the refs time piece.
Just as the Bermuda Triangle can result in clocks and compasses going haywire, thus works the Marist Triangle.

That would be great news. Looked a potentially season-ending injury. He was having a whale of a game to that point. Fingers crossed.

Hello all.. As new member of the forum and as a proud Riverview mother I'd just like to introduce myself. Enter Pam

Welcome to the forums, if you are in fact a mother of Riverview (doubt it) it will be great to have your input as I’m sure this would be a first in the forum.

Oh that’s not cool. The loss of a quality player is a loss to the entire competition. Never good to see a quality player go down.. from any team. I’m sure you won’t your team to win on its own merits? Not because there is a diminished competition. ...and go...
